How do you find the size of the Xbox 360 controller?

I wouldn't say I have big hands, but I always preferred the original Xbox controller and found the S too small and uncomfortable.

I was a bit worried about the 360 as the controllers are modelled on the Xbox's S range, but I was surprised how comfortable it was, albeit a bit small, and now I've been playing the 360 for a couple of weeks I have been able to get used to the controller, but not for all games.

I've been playing Smash TV and Geometry Wars lately, which use the left thumb stick to move and right to fire in various directions, and for me the controller is too small for this kind of use, which ruined the fun of these games and makes them harder to play than they already are.

How do you get on with it?

Will a third party adapter come out to allow use of the Xbox controllers?

Use a ruler???

Seriously though, I find the controller fine. Haven't tried it with the games you mention though.

It so good that when I went back to my Xbox S, at first I thought I had picked up a large, uncomfortable, lump of lead by mistake.

It's so good that i bought one and I don't even have a 360. I just run around the house with it making machine gun noises and scaring the dogs, real life is the HD that's easy on the pocket.

..Actually, I just use it on my PC.

I didn't know which type to get as a secondary controller for when friends visit. The wireless one is a great idea and I like using it, but I didn't think it was worth the extra cost plus batteries for a second wireless controller that will be in the cupboard for most of the week, so I went wired. I came close to exchanging it a few times though, since I like the wireless solution much more than I thought I would, but I finally opened it tonight and have no choice now.
